Don’t worry, we still are and will remain the same Disqus that you know and use. The strong relationships we have with publishers, readers, and commenters are a huge part of what makes Disqus great and how we work. Here’s some more insight into what this means and what comes next. We wanted to provide an open forum for folks to ask questions and share their thoughts with our team.

Still the same Disqus at the core

So you’re probably wondering what this means and how it impacts Disqus and the service we provide to publishers and users. The short answer is that not much is changing. Our team, our product offerings, terms, pricing, and vision to help publishers succeed remain the same.

Joining Zeta helps us fulfill this vision faster

With just a small team, we support millions of websites and hundreds of millions of users. In fact, Disqus has one of the largest user-to-employee ratios in the world. While we’ve always been proud of our ability to punch above our weight class, we intend on growing Disqus in order to truly fulfill our vision.

What comes next? What should you expect from Disqus in 2018?

Disqus is now a business unit as part of Zeta. Through the end of the year, into 2018, and beyond we intend to expand the Disqus platform for publishers. Our primary focus areas remain making moderation easier and more scalable through technology and expanding on the audience development tools that we offer for publishers.

A few weeks ago we outlined our vision and roadmap. If you’re a publisher, we encourage you to read through the plans and share your feedback. We’re eager to hear your thoughts.
